Abstract

HRD (Human Resources Development) is a new concept that has evolved in the last decade. HRD in USA is identified with training and development and it is only in the recent years other components of human resources development are being included under the term HRD. In our country some organizations have taken the lead of evolving and implementing an integrated human resources development system. The HRDs consists of subsystems like performance appraisal, potential appraisal, career planning and development, feedback and counselling, training, OD and systems development and data storage for development decisions. This paper traces the history of HRD in USA as well as in India. In this paper the author argues that the HRD concept evolved in India is for advanced than that in use in USA. HRD is not an old wine in a new bottle. It has its own developmental focus and deserves special attention by organisations including creation of separate roles of HRD managers. Literature relating to HRD has been briefly reviewed in this article.
